1064. The chess player who moves chess does not know that he is actually a chess piece. Matryoshka is prohibited
As if there was no escape from the routine and destiny, Ao Bing finally accepted the kindness and fate that Yuantou came to her door on her own initiative, and was half unwilling but half helpless to be involved in the rolling plot events.
.
This feeling made her instinctively unhappy, but she had to admit that this was the most suitable path for her and Nezha to escape from the current situation.
There is no way, she is not a heartless, stupid and cute girl like Nezha, who naturally thinks that everything can be solved by force and hard work.
The two of them, who were helpless in Chaoge City, had extremely high strength, but they did not have the means and means to turn it into financial resources, status, convenience and other means without violating their moral conscience.
Although the two people's little life was safe and warm, without the tricks of Li Xingke, the super-evolved version of the ball light in the ballroom, it had actually reached a dead end.
Although Ao Bing knew that she should socialize with people, manage relationships, and build connections so that she could live well in the human society of Chaoge City, she couldn't do it even if she knew.
The reason lies only in herself - she can't see the sand in her eyes, she can't see the things that are unfair, she is extremely arrogant in her heart and looks down on human beings who are full of despicable and dirty thoughts, and she is almost mysophobic and doesn't want to come into contact with such people.
Chaoge City is not a coastal city with simple folk customs on the Qiantang River, nor is it a Taoist temple where a group of innocent children gather. There are too many messy things, and Ao Bing is really not used to it. The most typical one is that it creates a situation similar to that of a pawn shop owner.
situation.
Therefore, Ao Bing, who is somewhat self-aware, knows that although she is better than Nezha in terms of interpersonal skills, common sense, knowledge, and wisdom, she is only a little bit better.
So the problem turned back. To survive in Chaoge City, you need connections to do well. Ao Bing and Nezha are two different types of social misfits, so things seemed to be locked up.
Until now, this round-headed man who didn't approach her with any malicious intent and took the initiative to make friends with her seemed to be a very suitable breakthrough point.
...Just ignore the details that the round head and myself met by chance.
"Let me tell you two, haven't there been a lot of people in Chaoge City recently who got lucky and got [immortal weapons]? Many people said it was auspiciousness from heaven or something." The round head sat on Ao Bing and Nezha's bed.
In front of him, he explained to the two preparation partners with a smile.
But neither of the two preparation partners seemed very enthusiastic——
"Well, I already know this. You can go on." Ao Bing said calmly.
"What auspiciousness? Don't you know?" Nezha looked at the unfamiliar round head and was a little confused.
"It's nothing. Nezha, just listen quietly. I will explain to you after this round head is gone."
"oh……"
"What? Round head? No, let's call it..."
"You go ahead with your round head, and we'll talk about the rest later."
"...?"
While Ao Bing pulled Nezha, who was confused about the situation, into his arms, he blocked his round head back, temporarily maintaining the order of the world, but he was very alert in his heart.
Xiangrui? Xiangrui is such a ghost. Ao Bing dared to bet on his father’s three-piece set of dragon tendons, dragon bones, and dragon skin. This matter must have something to do with Xing Carving, and he was probably the mastermind behind the plan.
However, apart from her, there are other people who don’t know the existence of Xingke at all. What do all the people living in Chaoge City think?
"How should I put it? I won't say whether it is auspicious or not, but this kind of good luck is indeed a good thing. After all, you can just walk on the street or pick up a treasure while eating or getting water. Why?
Could it be a good thing?"
Speaking of this, the originally silly and cheerful face of the round head couldn't hold back anymore, and there was a bit of bitterness in the smile:
"But although it is a good thing, people who have had great luck have had too much luck, and have had too much luck. Most people who have had great luck cannot control this kind of luck...
…So a lot of bad things happened during this time.”
"Can you tell me more specifically? We haven't been out during this period, so we are not very well-informed." Ao Bingfeng lied lightly, and conveniently placed a physical ban on Nezha who wanted to expose her lie.
The round head didn't pay attention to the two of them, and carefully sorted out his words:
"We can't say that we know everything exactly what happened. In short, it was very chaotic. The order that was relatively stable at the beginning is all in chaos. We know things like -
There was a boy who was an apprentice. His master's family was very harsh to him. The first thing he did when he got the magic weapon was to kill his master's family and seize the family's shop and property. However, he found that his own
His craftsmanship was not enough to maintain the operation of the store, and there were also various pressures from around him. These pressured him to the point where he couldn't breathe, but he was unwilling to admit the reality. In the end, he became insane and became a murderer.
Died from gratuitous violence and self-mutilation.
There is also a boy who works in a big family's mansion. He falls in love with the eldest lady of the family he serves. However, based on his own cultivation talent, strength and background, it is just a wishful dream.
But because of the immortal weapon, he has the speed of cultivation and unparalleled Taoist talent, and his originally wishful thinking daydream also has hope.
This is indeed the case. After learning about his rise, the head of the family he served did meet with him and tried to recruit him. However, it didn't take long for the news to spread that the man had died after practicing too much.
It is said that his immortal weapon was left to the young lady he admired.
Or there is an orphan whose family is all filled with [Shengxian Pill] medicine bags. Because they took too many medicines, they became useless. In the end, because of too much debt, the drug dealers ransacked the house and exterminated the family, and the whole family was left.
He, an orphan, escaped the disaster, but he would have probably died in the wandering life.
But he got the fairy weapon, and he had the hope of revenge and rise. So of course, with the abnormal cultivation speed, powerful strength and weird concealment skills given by the fairy weapon, he hid in the dark and assassinated everyone he could see.
Every drug dealer in the area was quickly killed and their corpses were everywhere, almost emptying an area of drug dealers.
However, as you know, there are always one or two protective umbrellas behind the drug dealers, otherwise they would not be able to do such a big business. When the drug dealers' protective umbrellas reacted and sent out several Assassin Spiders to surround and suppress the orphan, his
You can't even look at any assassination skills, and revenge is the end..."
The round head's tone was casual, but his eyes were serious as he told several stories in succession. Ao Bing's expression gradually became serious while listening, and Nezha also became quiet.
Although the processes of these stories are very concise and summarized, Ao Bing intuitively discovered that these stories all have the same core, that is, hope suddenly appeared in the life that was originally despairing and depressed, but in the end because of the lack of vision of the person involved,
Due to his own limitations such as improper manipulation, lack of caution, and unstable temperament, he watched hope slip away from his eyes and fell into a more desperate situation than before.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, or most bottom-level counterattacks will end in such a tragedy.
It's just that the emergence of a large number of immortal weapons caused such things to happen at the same time.
"In addition to these fairy weapons that obviously have owners, there are also some fairy weapons that were originally ownerless, which caused a lot of people to fight for it. Gangs and casual cultivators, warriors and the like started fighting, and they often killed people in the streets and alleys.
The blood flowed like a river."
"After that, the slow-moving government officials and some private soldiers of high-ranking officials also joined the fight. Although their banner was to maintain urban order, all treasures should be confiscated and used as unified arms management.
Already."
Regarding this point, both Ao Bing, Nezha and Yuantou himself silently expressed their disdain with their expressions and eyes.
Robbing things is robbing things. Everyone is robbing things. Only some people have to make up a high-sounding reason that even they themselves do not believe.
"After this chaotic and robbing situation continued for a period of time, slowly, the government gathered more and more troops in Chaoge City, becoming more and more organized, and there were more and more big wood bugs on the streets, so it was
Later, once an immortal weapon appeared and was discovered by the government, almost no one could snatch it away from the government.
Until now, at most, sometimes people from different units fight among themselves, and the security in Chaoge City has gradually calmed down."
Hearing this, Ao Bing and Nezha couldn't help but look at each other - they knew a little about this. Although they tried to keep a low profile during this period and maintained their small lives by helping others deliver goods, Chao Ge
They were still aware that large-scale riots and fighting broke out in the city, and then calmed down after a period of time.
However, those things didn't come to their door, so they didn't take the initiative to join in the fun. It wasn't until now that they realized what was going on.
"Immortal artifacts without owners will now be recovered by the government as soon as they appear in close proximity. However, the government is not satisfied with this, because most of the artifacts will still appear next to a certain person, and appear in the world because they recognize their owner.
.
The government also wants to keep this part of the Immortal Artifact firmly in its own hands. The official slogan is - the power of the Immortal Artifact is unprecedented, and the number is unprecedented. Therefore, for the safety of Chaoge, take over as the master of the Immortal Artifact.
Limit it.”
A very normal reaction, normal and correct, but at the same time it is the most ordinary and mediocre response. Ao Bing does not hold a disdainful attitude toward such a compromising response by the rulers of the human race.
It’s just that she felt that if she inherited the position of Dragon King and something like Chao Ge happened in the Hai Clan territory under her rule, she would definitely not want to take such a response. It would only show her failure as a king.
"I have no complaints about the way the government officials responded. After all, there is nothing wrong with them from their point of view." Yuantou said this unexpectedly, but his expression was full of complaints:
"But little brother and little sister, you also know that the old man in the government office and the many scoundrels under the old man always do one thing with their words and another with their hands.
of.
They said they wanted to recruit the masters of immortal weapons who would bring great luck, but most of the people they recruited had their magical weapons stolen by others. They either disappeared or were accused of crimes and thrown into jail.
They said they didn't want to work for the imperial court, so they could go to designated stores to recycle the immortal artifacts at a high price, but the actual price was indeed ridiculously low. In those shops that were responsible for recycling the artifacts, none of the scoundrels had clean hands and feet, let alone strong tactics.
Oh, that arrogant attitude, as if every piece of spiritual stone is a charity.
Little brother, you also encountered this kind of thing today, so you understand what I mean, right?"
Ao Bing nodded and responded:
"I know what you mean. Now the government, or rather the big families and big forces, have begun to do whatever it takes to recover the immortal weapons that have fallen into the hands of ordinary people.
It’s even reached the point where I don’t even bother to shout high-sounding slogans. It’s obvious that when I find one, I just use my strength to grab one – is that what you want to say?”
"Yes, little brother, you can see very clearly." The round head smiled happily and continued to explain:
"Now in Chaoge, anyone with an immortal weapon will be targeted. The people in the government are like a pack of evil wolves. If they find us, they will come up and eat us up. It's very dangerous.
There are many people in the government, and everyone has a high level of cultivation. They are obviously trying to bully people - if it was true that no one would dare to complain before, but think about it, little brother, it is different now.
